The catalogues also include freesias, gladioli, lilies, agapanthus, echinacea, hollyhocks and scabious, plus many others. If you’re interested in growing your own vegetables, they feature everything from aubergines to chard too.

A little bit of background about Sarah…If you live in the UK, you may already be familiar with Sarah’s work. She writes regularly for The Daily Telegraph newspaper and has appeared on the television programme, BBC Gardeners’ World.

Sarah is married to author Adam Nicolson, grandson of novelist Vita Sackville-West, who created the gardens at Sissinghurst Castle in Kent. I’ve been told that the White Garden in the summer is spectacular…somewhere I’d definitely like to visit.

Sarah and her family split their time between Sissinghurst and their other home, Perch Hill Farm in East Sussex.

If you’re thinking of growing your own flowers this year, now’s the time to start planning and ordering your seeds, bulbs, tubers and seedlings. So why not take a look at Sarah’s website for inspiration?

I’m delighted to let you know that Flowerona readers are entitled to a special 10% discount when ordering online or over the phone before 30th March 2011. Simply quote the discount code, FLOWERONA.

I’ll let you know how I get on with my cosmos and euphorbia…

Thank you very much to Sian at Sarah Raven’s office for her help in supplying the images.
